Next up is a Beta Review posted on MMORPG.com
Nothing new here for many AionSource readers, but its a decent review to show friends you're trying to convince to play Aion. You just may have to add or elaborate on a few points.

After my last entry about some of the upcoming MMOs, luck would have it that I was able to get a chance to play Aion during one of their recent beta preview weekend type events. Today I am going to try to give you my impressions from playing during the recent weekend event that had a level limit of 10, but did allow players to make characters from both of the game's factions. While I will be the first to admit that 10 levels is hardly enough to review much of anything, but I think I got a chance to sample the game and take a look at various aspects that were present.
Just to recap quickly here before I get started, I went into this with a few preconceptions about the game in terms of graphics, polish, and whether or not the game would be bringing anything new to table. I have seen some pretty remarkable screenshots of the game, so graphically I set the bar pretty high. The game has also been out in a foreign market for a while, so I expected a fair amount of polish. In terms of innovations I approached Aion with fairly low expectations. As soon as the log-in screen popped up as seen above, I felt somewhat reaffirmed that graphically I would not be disappointed. So with all that being said, let's get started!

Finally, there's only a few hours left of Western CBT2- I hope you all enjoyed the weekend. The next beta event is scheduled for July 2-July 6 with a focus on Asmodian levels 1-20. There's been no word as of yet if they'll allow for Elyos characters to be played once again, but keep checking back for news on that event and everything else going on!
